Run and Display the Tamiya 48209 1/35 Panther Type G

The Tamiya 48209 - 1/35 RC Panther Type G Late Production combines faithful external detail with practical radio control features for running and display. Sound and light effects add atmosphere to both demonstrations and skirmishes.

Historical Context and Key Traits

Built to tackle the T-34 threat, the Panther evolved from Type D and A variants into the Type G with sloped armour and a 7.5cm long-barrel gun. From 1944 the G variant received updates like an angled gun mantlet and flame-damping exhausts, with roughly 2,953 units completed during the war.

What the Kit Includes and How It Operates

The model uses a newly developed infrared Battle System for interactive play and comes with pre-assembled gearboxes and a turret rotation unit to make the build more straightforward. The compact control unit oversees turret rotation and gun elevation, while the 2.4GHz radio ensures smooth control of all drive and weapon actions.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35

The Tamiya 48209 Panther Type G Late Production is a solid choice for anyone seeking an authentic looking WWII tank that also functions well in IR battle scenarios.

Run time varies with battery quality and usage, but using fresh or high-capacity AAA cells will give longer sessions; consider rechargeable cells for frequent running.
The pre-assembled components reduce build complexity, making it accessible to newcomers who have basic modelling experience; patience with small parts is still needed.
Yes, the onboard infrared Battle System is designed for multi-vehicle engagements, but check club rules for permitted systems and any modification limits.
Remove batteries, clean dust from tracks and gears, and store the tank in a dry, stable place to prevent corrosion and deformation of plastic parts.
